Endowment Growth

Not that many years ago, we were offering our students $1.0M in scholarship funds. Today, our total annual commitment to tuition assistance and merit scholarships is $5.5M, with most of these funds coming from annual operational resources. In the Lasallian tradition, Calvert Hall strives to offer our educational experience to students without regard to financial circumstances. We pride ourselves on our diversity – economic, social, racial, and religious. We are committed to providing the many opportunities we offer to all students who seek a Calvert Hall education.

With a larger endowment, we would be better positioned to sustain our scholarship funds in the years ahead.

Looking at our current student body, 50 percent of Calvert Hall students receive some level of tuition assistance. Our goal in this campaign is to secure $10.8M in named endowed scholarships for needs-based tuition assistance. With these new funds, we will be better positioned to meet the financial needs of many more students.

At Calvert Hall, we appreciate the value and importance of recognizing academic excellence and leadership. For this reason, we also look to move our merit-based scholarships from our annual operating budget to an endowment supported fund. A $3.7M fund will help support Calvert Hall’s commitment to merit-based scholarships as we go forward.

Ensuring that we have the resources to sustain our outstanding faculty is another goal for this campaign. Long-tenured faculty are a hallmark at Calvert Hall. We are blessed with faculty Calvert Hall 175 members who believe that their work here is a mission-driven vocation.

We need sufficient resources to recruit outstanding teachers – and, to retain them. Local public school teachers are earning 20-to-25 percent more than our veteran faculty members. We need to close the gap.

We look to add five Distinguished Chairs, at the $500,000 level for each chair. These endowed Chairs will support stipends to recognize outstanding teachers.

Also, a new $2.5M Endowment for Moderators & Coaches will fund larger stipends for faculty members who work with students in our 60 extra-curricular activities and 40 athletic teams.

Capital Enhancements

One of our top priorities is to enhance and sustain the facilities and structures on campus to ensure that the Calvert Hall experience features state-of-the-art resources for academic, athletic, and extra-curricular pursuits. Our goal in this campaign is to commit $4.0 million to capital enhancements and additions on campus.

We will remodel the Knott Center and enhance Crispino Plaza. A new science lab will be added and training room facilities will be upgraded. Two new multipurpose practice fields will be available to the lacrosse, football, rugby, and soccer teams as well as the band – and, an indoor baseball batting facility also is planned. We are installing a Veterans Tribute on campus to honor the many Calvert Hall alumni who have distinguished themselves by their service in the military – and, all those now in active service throughout the world in one of the branches of the armed forces. The Veterans Tribute will provide a fitting way and special place on campus to remember the members of our Calvert Hall family who have protected all we hold dear.

Sound-proof Band Practice Rooms for individual lessons has been on our wish list for many years. It’s the right time to create these rooms – and, to enhance the learning and performance experience for the members of the Band.

The Role of The Hall Fund

The lifeblood of our fundraising efforts at Calvert Hall is Annual Giving. The Hall Fund, which represents a way for donors to make vitally needed unrestricted gifts, supports all aspects of the annual operating budget. In addition, restricted gifts for Tuition Assistance, scholarship funds, and specific programs provide the margin of excellence to help ensure that the Calvert Hall experience sets our students on a course into the future that will lead to great success.

At present, Annual Giving raises $675,000 annually. Our goal is to build Annual Giving to the $1.1 million level. In building toward this goal, we aim to raise a total of $4.5 million over the five years of this campaign.

This campaign will do much more than just celebrate a 175-year history. It will create the promise of a bright future for Calvert Hall College.
